Learning Outcome Three
Learning Outcome Three
When I start annotating a paper, I start to look for things I find significant. First, I skim the paper. I don’t read it completely through, I just look for words and phrases that I think will be significant. This normally involves things that ask a question, or prompt me to think of a question. When I think of the question, I write it in the margins. After reading the selection all the way through, I will find answers to these questions, and often think of many more, which I also write in the respectful margins. If the selection is a rather large read, i.e., more than five paragraphs in length, I will read it paragraph by paragraph, and ask questions after each one. When reading Susan’s Gilroy’s writing, I was able to read it completely through in one go, and ask questions as I went, and in a mass at the end of the selection. Here is a link to a selection that I annotated this year.
